As the 2024/25 Premier League season approaches, clubs are already intensifying their efforts to secure transfer deals swiftly once the window opens.
Despite the busy summer schedule with European Championship, Copa America, and Olympic Games tournaments, numerous players are rumored to be seeking new clubs.
West Ham in for Newcastle target Lloyd Kelly
One player generating constant buzz is Bournemouth’s talented center-back, Lloyd Kelly.
The 25-year-old will be departing from the Cherries on a free transfer at the end of June, sparking high demand for the England international.
According to Chronicle Live, Newcastle is in advanced talks with Kelly after missing out on Tosin Adarabioyo to Chelsea.
However, West Ham and several other clubs have also expressed late interest in Kelly. With Julen Lopetegui leading a new era at West Ham, Kelly might be enticed by the opportunity to be part of this fresh project.
Lopetegui’s continental style of football and the allure of contributing to a new beginning could sway Kelly’s decision. The potential preference for living in London over the North East of England could also play a role in the player’s choice.
With more twists and turns expected, Eddie Howe hopes to secure Kelly’s signature as soon as possible.
